About the Exhibition

The Inaugural MVC Student Art Exhibition showcases the curiosity, dedication, and bold creative spirit of MVC students enrolled in studio art, applied digital media, and photography during the 2025/2026 academic year. Each work on display represents not just a finished piece, but a journey of exploration, experimentation, and growth over the course of this academic year.

Selected through a juried process, these works are a testament to the remarkable range of talent thriving in our classrooms and studios. From bold strokes to carefully crafted details, from traditional forms to unexpected perspectives, our students have pushed boundaries and found their voices as artists.

This year’s exhibition also features the 2026 recipients of MVC’s La Causa Arts Scholarship, an annual scholarship dedicated to honoring the United Farm Worker’s movement through art and social justice advocacy.

We invite you to linger, to look closely, and to let these works inspire you in your own academic and personal journeys!
